CrowdStrike Expands Cloud Detection and Response Leadership to Stop Cloud Breaches
Unveils new 24/7 cross-domain threat hunting for Microsoft Azure environments with industry-first visibility across clouds, identities and endpoints—powered by elite adversary intelligence
With cloud intrusions growing
“CrowdStrike pioneered EDR, we established MDR before it was a category and now we’re setting the standard for what CDR delivers and can do for customers. Stopping cloud breaches requires rapid detection and response, but too often, Cloud SecOps teams are forced to manage multiple platforms and point products to get the visibility they need across their cloud infrastructure,” said Michael Sentonas, president at CrowdStrike. “The combination of CrowdStrike’s industry-leading cloud threat hunting services and comprehensive CNAPP provides a powerful force multiplier for Cloud SecOps teams to consolidate tools, close gaps in visibility and deliver the security outcome that matters most – stopping the breach.”
Stopping Identity-Based Attacks in the Cloud
As noted in the DHS Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), the Summer 2023 breach of Microsoft Exchange Online was “preventable and should never have occurred.” Adversaries commonly use identity-based attacks to breach customer cloud environments, and the security lapse noted in the CSRB report highlights the critical need to proactively detect and respond to cloud attacks, especially for Microsoft Azure environments.
With this release, CrowdStrike delivers the world’s most comprehensive cloud detection and response service by:
- Protecting Cloud Control Planes: Beginning with Microsoft Azure, CrowdStrike expands visibility into cloud control plane activity, complimenting existing threat hunting for cloud runtime environments.
- Stopping Cloud Identity Threats: CrowdStrike’s unified platform approach enables cloud threat hunters to proactively monitor and prevent compromised users and credentials from being exploited in cloud attacks.
- Preventing Adversary Lateral Movement: The unified AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform empowers CrowdStrike cloud threat hunters to track lateral movement from cloud to endpoint, enabling rapid response and actionable insights for decisive remediation from indicators to root cause.
